The
Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo opens its doors in the historic Nihonbashi
district of Tokyo on 2 December 2005. The hotel’s 179 luxuriously appointed guestrooms and suites are located between the 30th to 36th floors of the
38-storey new Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower. The oversized guestrooms range from 50 to 60 square metres, while opulent suites range from 90 to 250 square
metres.
 Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo’s
tasteful interiors by Singapore-based LTW Design Works, and innovative textiles by Japan’s Nuno Corporation, set a contemporary mood that also celebrates Japan’s timeless artisanship.
Deluxe Rooms juxtapose walnut flooring with carpeting, and feature original textile wall coverings akin to washi rice paper. The more expansive Grand Rooms feature
textured sisal carpets, reminiscent of tatami matting in the raised sleeping area, while wooden paths of bamboo accented by artisanal throw rugs delineate functional
spaces. All rooms feature a built-in walnut unit, vanity, large minibar, 45 inch flat screen television, generous storage space and desk. Bamboo features in the marquetry
of the bed headboards, while organically textured cushions, lacquered boxes and the warm, soft light emanating from the washi lampshades further emphasizes the
Japanese theme and sense of place.
In addition to the customary amenities of a Mandarin Oriental Hotel, each room is equipped with the latest entertainment technology and high-speed, wireless Internet
access. Bathrooms are sun-filled, with thoughtfully placed sliding mirrors that capture views from the main windows to enjoy while soaking in the tub. Laundry, dry
cleaning and shoes in need of polishing may be placed in a special compartment of the spacious vestibule that is accessed, with a key, by staff from the hallway outside,
thereby ensuring uninterrupted privacy.
To
celebrate its opening the hotel is offering introductory room rates that begin at JPY 48,000 effective through to 28 February
2006. The rate is exclusive of government tax and 10% service charge. Rates are subject to availability. Certain blackout dates
apply.
